Hi. I recently bought a 46'' Sony Bravia LCD TV. Model no. 46V550A. I noticed it has a USB port. Is it possible to play video files and images through a portable HD or a USB flash disk? If so, what formats are compatible with it?
Sorry to sound so harsh, but . . . 1. Do you have an owner's manual? 2. Did you try reading it? From page 21 of the GB manual: USB playback is supported for the following photo file formats: – JPEG (JPEG format files with the extension “.jpg” and conforming to DCF 2.0 or Exif 2.21) – RAW (ARW/ARW 2.0 format files with the extension “.arw” for preview only) • USB playback is supported for the following music file format: – MP3 (files with the extension “.mp3” that have not been copyrighted) --->• USB playback is supported for the following video file format: – MPEG1 (files with the extension “.mpg”) • Photo Playback Auto Start works only for photo files in the newest digital still camera folder (DCFcompliant, highest-numbered “DCIM” folder). • Playback may not start automatically when some digital still cameras (such as cameras with internal memory) are connected. • The file name and folder name support only English. • When you connect a Sony digital still camera, set the camera’s USB connection mode to Auto or “Mass Storage”. For more information about USB connection mode, refer to the instructions supplied with your digital camera. • Check the website below for updated information about compatible USB devices. http://www.sony-asia.com/bravia/flash.html • Use a USB storage device that is compliant with USB mass storage device class standards.
"There are no stypid questions, only asenine answers" ...And you just proofed it with the attitude, True, you did tell the correct answer, but you gave a lip to it, making the guide to a troll and smartass answer. Guy asked a question because he did not know the right answer, and you give him hard time when he tries to seek answers. I am looking for information if updating the firmware would actually add div-x compability to the screen. This is the case of most playerfitted screens on the market. If somebody can answer if update has any possible upgradee to the problem, id be pleased.
at least he bothered to answer the question. in theory it could work but ive never heard of anyone upgrading the firmware on a tv (a google search might have more answers).running a $50 dvd player that supports divx will work, even better if the dvd player has a usb input.
